Users are discussing whether political donations to the Democratic party in the US by scammers and criminals is a storied tradition that SBF has been following. As of today, the following people have donated to the Democratic party:
Harvey Weinstein — once-beloved Hollywood mogul who hosted celebrity fundraisers for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Currently serving a 23-year sentence for rape and is on trial for multiple sex crimes. Harvey routinely exploited his influence among Democratic politicians and their allies in the media to bury stories about his predatory behavior.
Jeffrey Epstein — was a financier, multimillionaire, and sex trafficker who was also accused of pedophilia. Jeffrey was also among donors of the Democratic party, and Bill Clinton took several trips on Epstein's private jet. Jeffrey was also known for courting journalists who alleged him for his crimes.
Ed Buck — an American businessman, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for luring young men to his home, sexually assaulting them, and (in at least two cases) injecting them with a fatal dose of methamphetamine. Ed was a longtime liberal activist and donated to Democratic Candidates and committees.
Bernie Madoff — once-beloved investment guru who orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in human history. He was sentenced to 150 years in federal prison and was one of the active supporters and donors of the Democratic party.
SBF — the crypto guru who earlier this year pledged to spend as much as $1bn in support of Democratic candidates and is currently under investigation for wire fraud, securities fraud, money laundering, and other violations.
